  • BUSINESS OBJECT ATTACHMENTS AND EXPIRING URLS
    Publication number: 20150095403
    Abstract: A computer implemented method may include requesting details of an object and attachments associated with the object. The attachment details for each attachment may include an attachment name and an attachment ID. In response to a selection of an attachment associated with the object, a determination may be made as to whether a cache already includes the selected attachment. If the cache includes the selected attachment, the selected attachment may be retrieved from the attachment cache. If the cache does not include the selected attachment, the attachment may be downloaded using an attachment URL. The attachment URL may be requested and generated based on the attachment ID. The downloaded attachment may also be stored in the attachment cache.

  • Presentation and User Selection of Timeslots
    Publication number: 20130054805
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of facilitating presentation and user selection of at least one timeslot, such as for an appointment, is presented. In this method, a request for available timeslots within a time period is received from a user device. In response, timeslot data identifying the available timeslots is retrieved from a scheduling system. An identifier key for each of the available timeslots, as well as graphical display data indicating the available time slots, are generated based on the timeslot data. The keys and the graphical display data are transmitted to the user device. A selection of at least one of the identifier keys is received from the user device. In response to receiving the selection, the at least one available timeslot corresponding to the selection is determined and forwarded to the scheduling system to reserve the at least one corresponding available timeslot.

  • SCALABLE ZOOM CALENDARS
    Publication number: 20140028729
    Abstract: Calendar content in a linear timeline may dynamically zoomed into and out of according to a change of a distance separating two user selected points on the screen as at least one of the user selected points is moved by the user. As the user zooms into and out of the timeline, a timescale that is displayed as part of the timeline may also be updated. The entries that are shown in the timeline may also be updated so that they correspond to the selected zoomed in time period. Additional detailed information may be displayed when zooming into the timeline whereas less information may be displayed when zooming out of the timeline. The degree of zooming may depend on a change in the separation distance between the points as one of them is moved.
